Happy Birthday & Halloween

As mentioned in the prior post, "The Madge", Cooper and myself drove up to Frisco, Texas to celebrate Erin's birthday and Halloween. Every year Brad & Erin have bet on the outcome of the Texas Tech / Texas A&M football game. The loser prepares dinner and over the last few years Brad has been doing a lot of cooking. Well this year, even though Tech was a 21 point favorite, the Gaggies slaughtered them. Clever Brad really wanted to put salt in the wounds, so he wrapped her gifts in the sports section that recapped the game and bought the following birthday cake.

As everyone knows, grandparents love to spoil the grandchildren and we are no exception. If Caden looks at a toy for more than five seconds either The Madge or myself throw it into the shopping cart, this also holds true for a gift that "might" be good for him. Even though he is considered a little young for some of gifts, like a gas powered car or chemistry set, both Dad and Pops (me) make sure that we can use it until Caden grows into it. So here is the little guy with enough toys to open up his own Toys R Us and what do you think he wants to play with.
Yes, that's a smile on Coopers face.
The following are various pictures of the visit plus a few of Allison and Henry all dressed up ??? for Halloween. Allison's birthday is this Wednesday so I will be posting another update then. Still waiting on Meaghan to send some pictures of Sean, maybe I will get some around Christmas.
